TRUTHS.
Tho flnanclal difficulties In which
the Sullivan Trust company became
involved created a small Hurry 01:
brokers' row, but as most of tho "tal
ent" knew all about the Sullivan com
pany no damage to amount to any
i thing was done hero. Pollock & Co.
are said to be tho most heavily Inter
ested in tho Sullivan concern, to the
tune of about $100,000, but that even
if a total loss wouldn't mako much
difference to Pollock. Thero is, how
over, a fair prospect that Sullivan's
' affairs may be licked into fair shap-
and that tho creditors will come out
fairly well all things considered. The
past reputation of the members of tho
Sullivan company are certainly not
above reproach, but In the present in
stance tho creditors may come out all
riuht. The Sullivan company, It is
believed, has as part of Its assets ton
j mines or ten prospects. Ono or two
of these mines or prospect holes are
paid to have good prospects of be
coming paying holes in the ground.
If only one of tho ten develops to any
thing worth speaking about it will
clear off tho Indebtedness of the con
corn. I The business methods of the Sul-
1 livan company is what hurts them
most. Everything appears to have
been done on a most extravagant scale
and without any regard to consequen
ces. Enormous salaries were paid in
competent dubs and expense seemed
no consideration. A funny part of the
whole business is the manner in which
tho newspapers with which the com
pany placed most voluminous adver
tisements were done up. Nowspapc
; people are supposed to know a little
more than tho common laymen, but
i In this Instance the newspapers seem
to have been the chief suckers. Some
were in on the graft but tho vast ma
! jorlty proved themselves suckers pure
and simple. So vler laben.
Tho cancellation of tho license to
the White House bar to sell liquors
' has been revoked. That Is what was
to have been expected. The cancella
tion was a fraud In the first placo and
the cancellation of the cancellation Is
eaually a fraud. Those "on tho In
side," Including Mayor Thompson
know what this pradoxical sentence
means.
ITho pedagogues and others of the
University of Utah are working with
all their might with members of the
legislature with a view of bringing
about a consolidation of tho Universi
ty and tho Agricultural college. As
a matter of fact they have overdone
It and are hurting the cause they wish
to aid.

. fe Collector Greenewald of the port of
Salt Lake says that the custom house
business Is unusually largo for this
season of the year. Tho imports are
finding an Increased demand and all
around things are good In the customs.
For Instance tho Salt Lnko Browing
company has Imported three times as
much Bavarian hops this season as
the previous one. Jako Morltz says
that's .why his beer is becoming so
popular.
Rudolph Kuchler Is mentioned for

NOW ALL IS PEACE
WHERE ONCE WAR FrOWNED ON
CHAPULTEPEC.
Palace uf President Vst'.ar. Crowns the
Heights Stormed by the Ameri
can Troops Golf Links on
Cherubusco Field.
It is only by a itretch of the Imagin
ation that a p oon v.rlvlng through
the beautiful park of Chnpultepec to
day can be bright to believe that the
great, rocky hill, which rises so majes
tically from its center, was tho height
that was stormed by tho American
troops nearly GO years ago during the
Mexican war.
Tho only thing to remind tho visitor
of tho blood that was spilled on this
hillside is a small commemorative I
monument about 15 feet high, erected
In honor of tho students of tho Mill- 1
tary collego who fell fighting against B
what Is termed In Mexico "tho North 1
American Invasion."
Tho heights of Chapultopec aro to
day crowned by tho pa'.ico of Presi
dent Diaz. Tho "Mexican Whlto
Houso" not only commands tho City
of Mexico but tho whole valley known
as tho federal district. From tho bal
conies of tho palaco there Is a view of
LOO miles. In this magnificent outlook
tho great featuro la Popocatepetl,
which, 17,500 feet high, rears its lofty
snow-clad head above tho clouds.
The Rock of Chapultepec Is a ter
raced garden. Tho spiral walk leading
up to tho mansion Is hidden from the
view of anybody stand'ng at tho baso
by a luxuriant growth of flowers of
every species, cactus, palms, In fact,
by all tho flora of subtropical Mexico.
Running In all '"-ectlons from this
smiling rock arc n.ves and walks that
tako ono to placid lakes, tho homes of
mllk-whlto swans and rustic summer
houses; where ono may, In perfect
quietness, dream away an hour or
two.
Whero tho Americans planted their
cannon is tho "Avenuo of Posts." As
early as seven o'clock In tho morning
students can bo seen wr'klng up and
down this magnificent alley of pines,
studying from a book or engaged In
philosophic or artistic controversy. It
calls to mind vividly what wo havo
read of tho groves of tho Academe, In
Athens, whero Socrates walked and
discoursed and argued.
Splendid drives lead out from tho
city In every direction to Chapultepec.
Between four and seven o'clock In tho
afternoon tho beauty and fashion of
Mexico turn out on parade, In auto
mobile and carriage, qulto In tho man
ner of tho Parisian who makes hla
drive in the Bols as regularly as ho
performs his ablutions.
Tho return down tho brilliant Paseo
do la Reforma Into San Francisco
street is ono of tho sights of tho capi
tal. From 2,000 to 3,000 vehicles tako
part In this dally parade In and out of
Chapultopec.
Tho field of Cherubusco Is a golf
links and Chapultopec Is tho peaceful
homo of a president who lives massed
In flowers. Time Is Indeed a humor

Setting Mother Right.
"Come, come," said Tommy's moth
er, "don't loungo that way. Sit up llko
a little man."
"Why, mamma," replied Tommy,
"men sit down. It's only dogs and
things that sit up."
Great Dish Washer.
Low Shnnk, county recorder, was
married a few weeks ago, says tho
Indlannpolis Star. The other day ho
appeared about his usual haunts with
a forefinger bound in many bandages.
"Cut your finger?" asked ono.
"Yes," said Shank.
"How?".
"On a glass," he said, mournfully.
"Burglar, eh?"
"No, not a wondow glnss," ho hast
ened to explain. "On a tumbler, a
drinking glass."
"How In thunder?" nsked tho man.
"Wiping It," ho said. "Ran the dish
towel way down to tho bottom and
before I know It I had nearly cut tho
end of my finger off."
"Oh, I'm ono of tho greatest dish
washers you over saw," ho added.
Brazil's Big and Enterprising Capital. H
